Why You Should Never Start Your Web Design Process in Webflow (Start in Figma)

One of the most common questions I get on Youtube and Instagram is - "Why do you use Figma? Why don't you just start in Webflow right away?".

The reasons are innumerable. For starters, Webflow is a development platform (even if their canvas is called the "Designer"). It's meant to "build out" your website. It's meant for you to bring an already-existing design to life. Webflow allows you to bring logic to your web design.

Starting with Webflow can considerably slow down your entire process as design experimentation can be a real pain in the Webflow Designer. Not only do you have to worry about what the design experiment is, but you also have to think about how you're going to execute it. Whereas on something like Figma, Adobe XD or Sketch, you can seamlessly move, change and alter things fluidly and with ease.

Start with Figma/XD/Sketch and thank me later.
